You didn't start your business to reconcile a bank statement.

You don't need a finance department. You need someone reliable to just handle the books, so you can stop wondering and get back to the work you actually do.

You're behind on categorizing, and the 'For Review' tab keeps growing.
You're not sure the numbers are actually right.
Tax season turns into a scramble every single year.

Who I work with

Simple books.
That's my lane.

  • You're a small business with 1-2 employees and simple accounts
  • You have a few bank accounts and one or two credit cards, nothing exotic
  • You're a service-based business, trades, or online retail with consistent revenue
  • You use QuickBooks Online, or you're willing to switch
  • You have a CPA for taxes, or you're ready to get one
  • You'd rather pay someone to do it right than spend your weekends catching up on books

Why one person

You get me. Every month.

I'm Donovan. I do the bookkeeping for small businesses with simple accounts, here in Littleton, Colorado. You won't get a ticketing system and a rotating support team. You get the same person every month, who actually knows your business.

My promise is simple: month to month, no long contracts. If your books aren't in better hands after the first month, you don't pay for it.

Questions

The honest answers.

Do you work with QuickBooks Online?

Yes. QuickBooks Online is the only software I work in. If you're not set up on it yet, I'll help you get there.

My books are a mess, or I'm behind. Can you still help?

Usually, yes. A lot of clients come to me behind, or unsure their numbers are right. We start with a clean-up to get to a solid baseline, then keep it clean every month.

Do I have to switch banks or software?

No. You keep your bank and your accounts. I work inside your QuickBooks Online - there's nothing to migrate.

Is my financial data secure?

Yes. Your data stays in your QuickBooks, protected by bank-level encryption. One person has access: me. I never store your banking passwords.

What if my business isn't a fit?

I'll tell you honestly on the call. I focus on simple books. If you need inventory, job costing, or payroll gymnastics, I'll point you toward someone better suited. No hard sell.

How much does it cost?

Bookkeeping starts at $300 a month, around $3 per transaction. See the pricing page for how it works, or book a call for an exact quote.
